Elvis Shrugged was a three-part comic book originally published in 1991. It was an affectionate parody of Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. The story is set in 1997, when the record business, which has become a conglomerate named Time-Warner-Sony, has collapsed due to so many talented musicians leaving. It is revealed that the Elvis Presley who everyone had thought had died in 1977 was actually a clone created by Elvis' infamous manager Col. Tom Parker from skin cells. As shown in the second picture, Frank Zappa was one of the musicians who was part of Elvis' grand plan, being the one who secured a secret hideout called "Blue Hawaii", after Elvis' 1961 movie.
Note that Elvis tells Zappa to "star in a sitcom or something" as a way to lull people into a false sense of security. It's not known if the writers knew about Normal Life or not.
